The CERN Antiproton Decelerator will deliver low energy beams to four experimental beam-lines installed within the acceleratorcircumference. The limited space available imposes tight constraints on the topology of the beam-lines needed by the experimental devices. In this paper, the general layout of the experimental area is reviewed. Furthermore, a discussion of the so-called measurement line for tests and AD beam property measurements is included along with remarks on the optics of the reverse injection of protons, to be used for the commissioning
